Here’s a closer look at the Beat It version of the Michael Jackson exclusive Hot Toys figure, celebrating Hot Toys’ 10th Anniversary. This figure will be available in Japan at Hot Toys’ 10th anniversary celebration event. This figure will be priced at around $223 dollars (converted from 18,000 Japanese Yen) and limited to 4,000 pieces, if I read the translation correctly.
Oof. Exclusive Hot Toys figures available at Christmas, only in Japan? This will put a dent in many holiday budgets.
We’ll have a closer look at the Michael Jackson and Batman Begins figures up shortly.

Place your JABBA THE HUTT™ and SALACIOUS CRUMB™ figures on the throne to watch as your Twi’lek dancer OOLA™ figure performs. Use JABBA’S poseable tail to show his approval for the dance—or move SALACIOUS CRUMB to indicate his master’s displeasure! Then, set the crime lord and his henchman back on the throne to await his next sinister appointment.
Hagop and I got to see these way back during Toy Fair in February, but they were in a strict no photography zone. We had to go back into an area behind a curtain, then they lifted up a cover to reveal Halo Minimates. I think this is a property that totally makes sense for the Minimates treatment.
Prepare to battle The Covenant…Minimates style!
Here is a first look at DST’s new Halo Minimates in packaging. These 2-packs are only available at Toys R Us!
I’m not quite sure how, but trs from the Fwoosh, who got us some really early packaged pics of DC Universe Classics wave 11 almost a year ago, has done it again. Now he has got his hands on what is probably one of the first sets of the Wal-Mart exclusive wave 14 in the United States – at least not ones that fell out of the back of a truck in China.
He is guessing that these will start hitting Wal-Marts within the next two weeks. He particularly liked how Zatanna turned out, and I’m inclined to agree!
I’ll hold off on my final thoughts until I have these in hand, but I am concerned about a trend of larger heads. Guy Gardner has giant head syndrome from the Green Lantern’s Light 5-pack, and OMAC has it from wave 15. Here it looks like Alan Scott and Obsidian have it too. Could be hereditary, in their case. 😉
